Shopping. Again.

[missmiah]

Last night I realized that if I stay here over the weekend I will need to go pick up candy for the kiddo's for Halloween.

I've never had Trick-or-Treaters at my house before. I actually had an anxiety attack about it, and was about to rush around vacuuming the entire house when common sense kicked in and I realized the little blighters don't make it past the front stoop. *headdesk* Still spazing though, just FYI.

Plus - candy in the house. Somehow I'm positive the midgets aren't going to be happy with sugar-free whatevers. I know I'm not, which is why there is no candy in the house. It's been suggested that I buy candy I personally dislike - like Butterfingers - but I believe that when it comes to sugar any port in a storm, you know?

And finally - the dog ran out of puppy food today and tomorrow I shall have to go forth and purchase big doggy food for him (*sniff* he's all growed up now). Hopefully I can find something I want to feed him that doesn't involve having it UPS'd from the next state up like I've been doing with his puppy food. Yes, I spoil him. Yes, I was paying somewhere close to $25 or more per back of dog food, but it was the good stuff with all the protein, so hush. I have no children, this is what I do.

The dog is calling, I must answer before he pees on the floor. Again. For the second time today. *grumbles about new meds*

My mother was a dental hygeinist before she was a biology teacher, and we never passed out candy at our house. She used to get these neat little plastic party-favor type toys, instead, and pass out plastic bat rings and pencils with pumpkins on them and whatever. The kids always really liked the stuff, actually... I think if you're going to several houses, it's kinda nice to get something that you can play with the next day, instead of something that'll be gone as soon as you eat it.

So, anyway, if you don't want candy in the house, maybe that's an alternative.

I'd be afraid I'll get a bunch of hooligan older kids who don't bother wearing costumes (I'm a disgruntled teen, yo, gimme candy!) and will be so angered by my spider rings (which, also, not allowed in the house cause the cat finds one and always leaves it out in the middle of the floor for me to either step on in the dark or see out of the corner of my eye and scream about) and then egg my car or something.

That's probably a valid concern. Candy it is, then!

Yeah, we're doing the candy thing this year. Not many kids on our street (unless you count drunk college students...), so I'm not sure how much activity we'll have.
